Everything about them is bad. It begins with trademark infringement and goes all the way to dealing in stolen goods. I would not give them a penny of my money.

Welcome to the forum :party:

We don't openly discuss the smaller details in counterfeit pedals, because people who are (or, at least, were) affiliated with the organisation producing them are aware of this forum, and the more they learn about where they're going wrong, the more convincing their future attempts might be. That said, the guts of this pedal were actually housed in a different (also fake) MKI enclosure, before it was advertised by various dealers on eBay and Reverb...

They’re the scum of the earth.

Pure filth.

I see. Well that's certainly a good policy to adopt regarding the small details. It definitely fooled my eyes but I'm far from an expert of course. But the circuit being a telltale sign is interesting and good to know. Seems it sold for over 6 grand. Bad news for the chap that got taken for a ride there.
